JOHN CLINT JUNIOR, SON OF JOHN & MARG. CLINT & GRANDSON OF NICHOLAS

When John Clint Senior was born, (c 1746), Mary Clint, (nee McNab) wife of Nicholas Clint, was aged 53 years and therefore not his mother.

It is more likely that John Clint senior is the grandson of Nicholas and Mary and John Clint Junior a great-grand son.

In the same Ardkeen graveyard where these Clints are buried, there is another gravestone, with the top half broken off –

On the part of the stone that is left there is the inscription -------‘ Clint who departed this life in the year of Our lord 1785.

This Clint may have been a son of Nicholas & Mary and the father of John Clint Senior. If born c 1716 he would have been aged

about 70 years at the time of death and about 40 years when John senior was born in 1746.
